  which one is right for you? C-Arm Buying 2The
  experts at Atlantis Worldwide put together this
  list of considerations to help you choose the
  C-Arm that delivers the ideal performance for
  your needs.
• Talk to your surgeons and physicians. What are

  much you can spend. This will help determine if
  youre looking at new or refurbished medical
  imaging devices.

• What kind of image quality do you need? Newer
  machines with flat panel image detectors provide
  higher quality images. However, you want to make
  sure you protect everyone from radiation exposure
  while youre getting those images. Most C-Arms
  offer low-dose modes, so youll use the least
  amount of radiation to get the best possible
  images. A safe option is choosing C-arms with a
  pulsed-image feature rather than one with only
  continuous live imaging.
• What will you use your C-Arm for? Youll want to
  choose the right C-Arm for your procedural
  priorities.

• Do you have sufficient power? If your C-Arm is
  going into an OR, youll want to make sure it has
  sufficient power available, since many different
  devices are used, like a blanker warmer, surgical
  microscope, C-Arm, etc.
• What kind of maintenance does the C-Arm require?
  Youll need to assign a team that will be
  responsible for the machine, weekly, testing,
  training and radiation safety education and
  general upkeep.
• Whats your backup plan? What happens if your
  C-Arm goes down? Sometimes it makes sense to buy
  multiple units, so there wont be an issue if one
  C-Arm goes down.
